Etnia Barcelona presents Moi Aussi, a new creative project driven by Andrea Zampol D’Ortia, optician and art lover, with the aim of becoming a global platform where artists from all over the world can express themselves and develop their artistic careers. With Moi Aussi, the brand wishes to combine art and optics by working closely with artists and highlighting the leitmotif “BEANARTIST”, which translates as “Rebel through art”.
In line with this philosophy and as a tribute to art and artists, the brand has acquired the Chiesa Dell’Abbazia Della Misericordia in Venice, a historic place which will be renovated and fitted out to become the Moi Aussi Creative Laboratory. The space will welcome 24 international artists each year and will also be open to other established artists or artistic collectives who wish to exhibit their work in Venice.
Moi Aussi is an artistic project conceived as a creative movement that embraces artists from all over the world transcending any cultural border and ensuring that the true purpose of art triumphs over any diversity of culture, religion or ethnicity. Cultural diversity represents the strength of the Moi Aussi artistic community, the meaning of which reflects both the artists’ desire to be part of this community and the beginning of their journey, offering them artistic support and global visibility.
This project, aimed at an art world that is elevated, but also fresh, bold and young, is based on three fundamental pillars: art, emotion and contrast. Moi Aussi represents the artist’s manifesto, which in turn represents these three pillars and the declaration of intentions of this artistic movement.
The Moi Aussi logo is based on the verticality of the architectural elements of the Abbazia della Misericordia: pillars, columns and stained-glass windows. Thus, the purest geometric shapes match the poetry behind the project. This approach symbolizes the unique and distinctive personality of each artist, representing “MOI” as the soul of the artist and “AUSSI” as the sense of belonging to the artistic community, creating a balance between formality and creative expression.
